GARLIC MASHED POTATOES WITH OLIVE OIL
From noir 17 years ago
- 25 minutes to make
- Serves 6
Potatoes aren't just about butter & cream. Baking potatoes, because of their drier flesh, seem to take more kindly to mashing than waxy potatoes. Don't try to mash potatoes with a food processor - they just get gluey.
Ingredients
- * 2 1/2 pounds baking potatoes shopping list
- * salt to taste shopping list
- * 6 garlic cloves, peeled shopping list
- * 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil or more to taste shopping list
- * freshly ground black pepper to taste shopping list
How to make it
- PEEL the potatoes if you wish. Or peel half and leave the other half with the skins on.
- CUT the potatoes in half and plunge them into a large pot of rapidly boiling water. Add the whole garlic cloves and cook, covered, until the potatoes are very tender - about 25 minutes
- DRAIN the potatoes and garlic well and turn them into a warm serving bowl.
- USING a potato masher, mash them coarsely, adding the olive oil a little at a time.
- WHEN all the oil has been added, taste and add more salt if needed and an abundance of black pepper.
- SERVE immediately.
